Check out the National Science Foundation's Chautuaqua program which offers three day workshops in math, science, and pedagogy for college professors. These are held at colleges and universities throughout the United States this summer and because of a government grant are only $50 a workshop. As noted on their website:
Chautauqua Short Courses...provide an opportunity for invited scholars to communicate new knowledge, concepts, and techniques directly to college teachers in ways which are immediately beneficial to their teaching. The primary aim is to enable undergraduate teachers in the sciences to keep their teaching current with respect to both content and pedagogy.
I am teaching three of these workshops on classroom management this summer in New York City, Seattle, and Des Moines, Iowa.
